Ride-the-Wave Strategy – Best for Stock Traders

Buy a stock one day post-EA if a stock reacts positively post-earnings:

Near the close of trading the EA-day for a pre-market-EA

Near the close of the following day for a post-market-EA

Sell-to-close after 7-10 days, or possibly earlier if a desired price target is
reached

Similarly,

short a stock one day post-EA if a stock reacts negatively post-earnings:

near the close of trading the EA-day for a premarket-EA

near the close of the following day for a post-market-EA

then buy-to-close after 7-10 days, or possibly earlier if a desired price target
is reached

Important: Ride-the-Wave is predicated on significant price momentum triggered
by an EA. The 7-10 day scenario is the maximum trade hold-time. If you see post
EA-momentum is halted or reversed by a significant opposite move, re-evaluate your
presence in the trade.

Volatility Crush Strategy - Best for Options Traders

The Volatility Crush strategy is used with stocks that typically experience relatively
low-to-moderate price moves (≤4%) following their Earnings Announcements (EA). The
basic trade idea is to sell put or call options right before the EA, collecting
a credit when options premium is very high due to elevated implied volatility (IV).
You then close the position right after the EA by buying the option back much cheaper
due to the significant drop in IV that occurs after the mystery of the EA disappears.
In assessing this trade, you need to do your homework to ensure you collect sufficient
premium to make the trade worthwhile.

This trade is practical due to the low-to-moderate price-move after the EA, which
generally won’t significantly affect the options price, unlike an “action” stock,
which experience great price moves post-EA. With these symbols, if you’re on the
right side of the price move, that’s a great thing. But if you’re on the wrong side
of the move, not so great. Consequently, by minimizing the effect of the post-EA
price move, you have a much better chance to profit from the reduction in IV without
it being ruined by a violent price move.

For this trade, open the position either (1) the night before the EA when the company
announces earnings or (2) during the EA day when it announces post-market, generally
capturing IV at or close to its peak.

For this trade, open the position either (1) the night before the EA when the company

Volatility Rush Strategy - Best for Options Traders

The Volatility Rush takes advantage of increasing options premiums into earnings
announcements (EA) caused by an anticipated rise in Implied Volatility (IV). With
this strategy, Buy a Call and Put at-the-money (a long straddle) 2-3 weeks before
the EA when IV is lower. Sell the position either (1) the night before the EA when
the company announces earnings pre-market, or (2) during the EA day when it announces
post-market, generally capturing IV at or close to its peak.

This popular screen will give you a list of stocks whose Options premiums tend to
rise into Earnings. It includes only those stocks whose Earnings are at least two
weeks away from today.

Earnings Date Start Date : Current Date + 15 Days

Earnings Date End Date : Current Date + 30 Days

Predicted Move (Next Day) Min : 5%

Options Type: Weekly or Monthly if that lines up with the two to three-week lead-time
for entering the trade

Strategy Guideline:

Buy a Straddle at or close to the money two to three weeks pre-EA.

Sell the position either the night before the EA when the company announces earnings
pre-market, or during the EA day when it announces post-market.

Expiration date should generally be the closest expiry immediately after the EA.

Straddle price should not be more 60% of predicted move.
